Steely is caught by two officers of the Buckleville Police Department at an active murder scene. Can she convince them to let her go or does she get herself into trouble? And what about Steely hearing the strange squeaky voice? Is it all in her head? Is it due to her hitting the desk or something else entirely? Tune in to today's episode to find out the answers to these questions and much more!

This week, we listen to chapter 2 of How to Leash a Thief, book 1 of the Steely & Cuff Mysteries. In episode 1, we listened to chapter 1. We learn the night janitor of Steely's dog-grooming shop, Samson, is murdered. Steely also receives a text from her head groomer, Daniel, telling her he thinks he may have left the door unlocked. Steely heads to her shop to check the door, see if she can discover any clues to Samson's murder, and locate his big dog, Virgil. When she arrives at her shop, the scene of the murder, there is no sign of police activity. Despite her hesitation, Steely musters all her courage and follows through with what she intended to do. Is she successful? Can she locate Samson's dog, Virgil? Does she run into trouble? Tune in to find out!

Welcome! I’m Cat Clayton and deep in the heart of Texas my curiosity quills the crime. My humorous mysteries feature an amateur sleuth surrounded by a quirky cast of characters. They have a Nancy Drew meets the small-town south kind of vibe. Some say they’re like book versions of the Hallmark mystery movies. Being a Hallmark fan, I take the description as a compliment. Tune in for the first chapter of How to Leash a Thief, book one of the Steely & Cuff Mysteries. Enjoy!

I’m Cat Clayton and deep in the heart of Texas my curiosity quills the crime. My humorous mysteries feature an amateur sleuth surrounded by a quirky cast of characters. They have a Nancy Drew meets the small-town south kind of vibe. Some say they’re like book versions of the Hallmark mystery movies. Being a Hallmark fan, I take the description as a compliment. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, I thought about different ways I could show gratitude to my readers. Write a new book in my series? Two books? Write a giveaway novella or a post a weekly serial story? (I did write the 4th book in my series.) But I needed the idea to be different, innovative. I wanted it to be free. Fun. And a way to pass the hours curled up in a comfy spot, sipping a warm beverage during such an unparalleled and difficult time. This podcast is the result of my efforts. It is my gift to you, dear readers. Now, settle in, and let me tell you a few stories.
